HARRISON — The baskets just wouldn’t fall for the Russellville Cyclones during their 72-55 loss to the Harrison Goblins on Saturday in the championship game of the Lindel Thompson Classic held in Harrison.

Meanwhile, the Goblins found their way to the net from the field and the freethrow line.

Junior Andy Campbell, who averages 20 points per game, was held to three points throughout the game, all of which came in the first half. It was the first time since this season Campbell has been held to single digits. Campbell only managed two shots in the first half – one of which was a 3-pointer with 45 seconds left in the half.

The Cyclones opened the game cold and found themselves trailing 38-27 by halftime. Russellville’s Tony Jones and Cody Underhill each hit 3-pointers, but missed shots inside-out were the name of the first half.

The closest the Cyclones came to Harrison was in the opening moment of the game when they trailed by three, 8-5.

Russellville hit five 3-pointers in the second half, but fell permanently behind Harrison. Where the Cyclones got hot, the Goblins never stopped and rode their lead to the buzzer.

Kentrell Scott led the way with 16 points, Jones scored 12 points – three 3-pointers during the game. Marquis Rhode scored four points and Campbell three.

Russellville’s boys and girls basketball teams will travel to Van Buren on Tuesday.

Farmington SB 64, Pottsville 63

ALMA — The Pottsville Apaches were nudged from the Alma tournament by the Farmington Cardinals on Saturday by a score of 64-63.

The Apaches (4-5) trailed 18-13 after the first quarter and 37-36 at halftime. After the third quarter Pottsville was behind 54-51.

“Our guys really hung in there, and finally took a two point lead with less than a minute to go,” Apaches head coach Shane Thurman said. “Then they [Farmington] made a huge 3-pointer, to regain the lead. We had two good looks at it on our last possession and just came up a little short.

“We just need to tighten things up a little defensively, and we will be fine.”

Leading scorers for Pottsville were Michael Perry with 23 and Travis Cole with 18.
